Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has concluded the procurement process for the provision of free emergency hormonal contraception (EHC) to young women under 25, titled "ASC0235." This service falls under the health and social work services category and was awarded to several community pharmacies located in Leicester, specifically close to the City Centre and two universities. The Framework Agreement commenced on 1st April 2019 and is set to continue until 31st March 2023, with an estimated contract value of £240,000 for the four-year period. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the tender submission period ended on 8th March 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, to expand their services in Leicester. Companies that can manage the provision of over-the-counter medications and health services tailored to young women, especially within community pharmacy settings, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, there may arise further opportunities when the council chooses to review or reopen the Framework for new providers, allowing for potential new entrants to enter the market.

Notice Information

Notice Title

ASC0235 - Provision of Free Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC) to young women under 25 years of age

Notice Description

The procurement of this service has now concluded. Leicester City Council have awarded Framework Agreements to the successful community pharmacies located in specific wards of Leicester City where young people seem to prefer to access pharmacies in close proximity to the City Centre and the two Universities. The proposed Framework Agreement will be for a period of 4 years (48 months) to commence on 1st April 2019 until 31st March 2023. The proposed service is based on current and known funding allocations. These could alter through the life of the contract due to changes in future local and central government funding. The contract value assigned to this service is estimated to be PS60,000.00 per annum, estimated to be PS240,000.00 for the full 48 months of the Framework Agreement period. Tenderers should note that this value has been estimated using the current spend on the service provision already in place. This is no guarantee of future volumes or value of business. Throughout the duration of the Framework, the Authority may at its discretion review the Framework and may open the Framework at its own discretion when a service need arises. A service need includes (but is not limited to): a) a lack of capacity from current providers and therefore there is a need to supplement the framework list of providers beyond the numbers initially appointed to the contract; b) an increase in the volume of service users requiring the services under the Framework; and c) to replace (if required) providers who have been removed, suspended from the framework or did not agree to provide the services. Opening the Framework will allow the opportunity for any potential new providers who are not currently appointed to the Framework to apply to the Authority, when the new tender opportunity is advertised, to be so appointed for the remainder of the term of the contract.
